Simple suite of console applications that allow using a 2–channel 2000 series PicoScope as a 4–channel logic analyzer. Note that this is not a commercial product, but a freely expandable proof of concept licensed under GPL.

A simple script which sends a sinewave through the signal generator on the PicoScope 5000. Can easily be configured to send other waveforms. Function calls from the PS5000 API: ps5000OpenUnit, ps5000SetSigGenBuiltIn and ps5000CloseUnit. A multimeter can be used to verify the output.

I have written a LabVIEW VI for the TC-08 USB datalogger. I have uploaded it to the NI website where it is freely downloadable. These VIs provide a more uniform route to communicating with the TC-08. They also allow modification of parameters such as temperature readback.

Projects

OpenPCD Passive RFID Project

OpenPCD is an open source and open hardware project around Near Field Communication (NFC), RFID reader, writer and emulator hardware. The intention of the OpenPCD project is to offer the users full hardware control of the RFID signal and to provide various output signals for screening the communication.

As part of the OpenPCD project a PicoRFID Sniffer for PicoScope is available. This uses an OpenPICC SnifferOnly front–end together with a PicoScope 3204A to sniff the 13.56 MHz RFID card transactions.

DrDAQ Application Project

The DrDAQ Application Project intends to build applications which surround the parallel port version of the DrDAQ Data Logger.

As it is with any Open Source project, the DrDAQ application project can only grow and prosper if the people using the code give something back in return.

If you are an experienced Linux developer or kernel hacker the project could use your contributions.

The code is written with the KISS philosophy in mind. As such even a novice C programmer could study and understand the code. So even if you are just starting out as a Linux developer your contribution to this effort is welcome.
